As an Englishman, Alexander McCall Smith obviously understands a nation's passion for tea (Rooibos tea in the case of Southern Africa). I'm more of an English tea drinker myself (rusk or dipping bikkie, essential). A cuppa, strong builders, Tips, Yorkshire, char, Twinings – whatever you like to call it, a steaming cup of liquid has a soothing, contemplative quality, which little else so simple and so available can quite replicate.
Tea, as you know, is one of my great pleasures if not a passion.
But stranger things are afoot. One day in Stockholm and last Friday in Liverpool I found myself speaking animatedly about barges. Even more perplexing, I was in the company of other 'barge nerds' – jack-up barges, flattop barges, accommodation barges, semi-submersible barges, split hopper barges, hold barges.
It's a peculiar old world.
What interests me about specialist areas of study, hobbies and passions is that they make us come alive, bring a sparkle to our eyes and turn a quiet reserved person into an ebullient, articulate extrovert.
Don't worry, I don't quite need to seek help about my barge interest. It's just that in the company of passionate people I find myself getting carried away.
I remember watching BBC News with my flatmate one Saturday morning a few years ago. At the end of the serious news they interviewed an expert on badgers. He was talking about growing development and it's encroachment on the natural habitat of badgers in the UK. He was small, had a mop of black disheveled hair greying in parts, bushy eyebrows, piercing eyes and a rather unfortunate overbite that made him look not a little like the creatures he loved. He was captivating. Those badgers had someone who really cared about them and he was doing a pretty good job at canvassing us into the 'Badger Rights Party' as well.
Ever since that moment I've pondered this issue of passions and their potential.
I do not believe that these passions have to be the way you earn your living. You are lucky if you do, but for a long time that's been the zeitgeist of the western world and I think it's left a lot of people lost and disillusioned.
I do believe that we all have God-given passions that help us to connect with others in a deeper and more effective way than almost any other means – we become contagious. I do believe that these passions, not the things themselves as such, but the energy and joy that exudes, have a redemptive quality. Each one of us can be a light in our small corner of influence in the world.
For me that's stories in the form of films, novels, characters, photography, history, words and theatre. For Hubby it's bread making, languages, culture and otherness. For a fellow trustee in Liverpool it's fail-safing children in order to reduce the need for intervention in adulthood. For a friend from Westminster Uni it's Tough Mudders. For my neighbour that's jujitsu. For a 13 year old boy I once knew it was learning Elvish from The Lord of the Rings series.


This famous phrase seems like it's written backwards. Shouldn't it be – we will understand and then we will do? Torah emphasizes action. The mitzvot bind us together as an ethical community with a shared collection of practices. Doing necessarily comes before understanding because for some things, understanding can only be achieved through lived experience.
There is a misconception that Reform Judaism is "Judaism Lite." This is not at all true to its philosophy. Reform Judaism stands for the concept of "educated choice." Reform Judaism teaches that we should try on the mitzvot – do them, learn about them, and decide for ourselves whether they have meaning. After all, how can we know if something would bring lasting value to our lives if we have never tried it? Lighting Shabbat candles and having dinner with your family may bring tremendous warmth and togetherness to your home, giving you a chance to slow down and appreciate time with family, a spouse, or by yourself. In each of those circumstances, the Shabbat meal by candlelight has something beautiful to offer.
Judaism is full of riches – some are mitzvot, or commandments, some are traditions. Our people declared na'aseh v'nishmah – this week I invite you to take these words to heart. Na'aseh – do something Jewish that is not a part of your usual routine, so that nishmah – you may hear and understand Judaism in a new way.

The Story of My Experiments with Truth / Mohandas K. Gandhi / Part-3 Ch-10
10. THE BOER WAR
I must skip many other experiences of the period between 1897 and 1899, and come straight to the Boer War.
When the war was declared, my personal sympathies were all with the Boers, but I believed then that I had yet no right, in such cases, to enforce my individual convictions. I have minutely dealt with the inner struggle regarding this in my history of the Satyagraha in South Africa, and I must not repeat the argument here. I invite the curious to turn to those pages. Suffice it to say that my loyalty to the British rule drove me to participation with the British in that war. I felt that if I demanded rights as a British citizen, it was also my duty, as such, to participate in the defence of the British Empire. I held then that India could achieve her complete emancipation only within and through the British Empire. So I collected together as many comrades as possible, and with very great difficulty got their services accepted as an ambulance corps.
The average Englishman believed that the Indian was a coward, incapable of taking risks or looking beyond his immediate self-interest. Many English friends, therefore, threw cold water on my plan. But Dr. Booth supported it whole-heartedly. He trained us in ambulance work. We secured medical certificates of fitness for service. Mr. Laughton and the late Mr. Escombe enthusiastically supported the plan, and we applied at last for service at the front. The government thankfully acknowledged our application, but said that our services were not then needed.
I would not rest satisfied, however, with this refusal. Through the introduction of Dr. Booth, I called on the Bishop of Natal. There were many Christian Indians in our Corps. The Bishop was delighted with my proposal, and promised to help us in getting our services accepted.
Time too was working with us. The Boer had shown more pluck, determination, and bravery than had been expected; and our services were ultimately needed.
Our corps was 1,100 strong, with nearly 40 leaders. About three hundred were free Indians, and the rest indentured. Dr. Booth was also with us. The corps acquitted itself well. Though our work was to be outside the firing line, and though we had the protection of the Red Cross, we were asked at a critical moment to serve within the firing line. The reservation had not been of our seeking. The authorities did not want us to be within the range of fire. The situation, however, was changed after the repulse at Spion Kop, and General Buller sent the message that, though we were not bound to take the risk, Government would be thankful if we would do so, and fetch the wounded from the field. We had no hesitation, and so the action at Spion Kop found us working within the firing line. During these days we had to march from twenty to twenty-five miles a day, bearing the wounded on stretchers. Amongst the wounded we had the honour of carrying soldiers like General Woodgate.
The corps was disbanded after six weeks' service. After the reverses at Spion Kop and Vaalkranz, the British Commander-in-Chief abandoned the attempt to relieve Ladysmith and other places by summary procedure, and decided to proceed slowly, awaiting reinforcements from England and India.
Our humble work was at the moment much applauded, and the Indians' prestige was enhanced. The newspapers published laudatory rhymes with the refrain, 'We are sons of Empire after all.'
General Buller mentioned with appreciation the work of the corps in his despatch, and the leaders were awarded the War Medal.
The Indian community became better organized. I got into closer touch with the indentured Indians. There came a greater awakening amongst them, and the feeling that Hindus, Musalmans, Christians, Tamilians, Gujaratis, and Sindhis were all Indians and children of the same motherland took deep root amongst them. Everyone believed that the Indians' grievances were now sure to be redressed. At the moment the white man's attitude seemed to be distinctly changed. The relations formed with the whites during the war were of the sweetest. We had come in contact with thousands of tommies. They were friendly with us and thankful for [our] being there to serve them.
I cannot forbear from recording a sweet reminiscence of how human nature shows itself at its best in moments of trial. We were marching towards Chievely Camp where Lieutenant Roberts, the son of Lord Roberts, had received a mortal wound. Our corps had the honour of carrying the body from the field. It was a sultry day--the day of our march. Everyone was thirsting for water. There was a tiny brook on the way where we could slake our thirst. But who was to drink first? We had proposed to come in after the tommies had finished. But they would not begin first and urged us to do so, and for a while a pleasant competition went on for giving precedence to one another.

Population dynamic models of the spread of Wolbachia.
Hancock PA., Sinkins SP., Godfray HCJ.
Wolbachia are endosymbionts that are found in many insect species and can spread rapidly when introduced into a naive host population. Most Wolbachia spread when their infection frequency exceeds a threshold normally calculated using purely population genetic models. However, spread may also depend on the population dynamics of the insect host. We develop models to explore interactions between host population dynamics and Wolbachia infection frequency for an age-structured insect population regulated by larval density dependence. We first derive a new expression for the threshold frequency that extends existing theory to incorporate important details of the insect's life history. In the presence of immigration and emigration, the threshold also depends on the form of density-dependent regulation. We show how the type of immigration (constant or pulsed) and the temporal dynamics of the host population can strongly affect the spread of Wolbachia. The results help understand the natural dynamics of Wolbachia infections and aid the design of programs to introduce Wolbachia to control insects that are disease vectors or pests.

This Easy Homemade Ketchup Recipe With Fresh Tomatoes Is Healthy DIY Perfection
You don't need to buy a bottle at the store—you can make a better ketchup at home in your own kitchen!
By Amy Sherman
Amy Sherman
You might be surprised to learn that originally ketchup was not made from tomatoes, but from ingredients such as walnuts and fermented fish. Today's ketchup made from tomatoes is one of the most popular condiments in America, and it's no wonder. It's sweet, savory, and tangy, and it's delicious on everything from French fries to scrambled eggs.
According to National Geographic in 2014, 97 percent of U.S. households reported having a bottle of ketchup. The first known published tomato ketchup recipe appeared in 1812, and Henry J. Heinz started producing ketchup in 1876. Once it was produced commercially, it quickly became something people bought rather than made at home.
But have you ever had homemade ketchup? Not only is it fresh and delicious, but you can also control the amount of sugar and salt in it and season it to your liking. It's also super easy to make. Homemade ketchup really highlights the flavor of tomatoes rather than masking it with lots of vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Want to get creative? Add a pinch or two of powdered ginger, curry powder, or some sriracha sauce for some extra spice to your ketchup.
While fresh tomatoes are delicious, there's actually a health benefit to cooking them, like you do when making ketchup. Heating, as well as pureeing tomatoes, has been shown to increase the amount of the antioxidant lycopene that the body can absorb. Homemade ketchup is low in saturated fat and sodium, and it's also a good source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin E, iron, potassium, and copper, and a very good source of vitamin C.
You won't even bother with bottled versions anymore once you try your hand at this easy ketchup recipe!
Homemade Ketchup Recipe
Makes 44 servings (2 3/4 cups); Serving is 1 Tablespoon
1 cup chopped onions
1 28-oz can tomato puree (I prefer Muir Glen Organic)
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (I use Diamond Crystal Kosher)
pinch ground cloves
Heat the oil in a 3-5 quart saucepan and add the onion. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes, until thick.
Blend the ketchup in batches in a blender or use an immersion blender until smooth.
Transfer the ketchup to a bowl and allow to cool completely before tasting to adjust seasoning.
How to store it
Store the ketchup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Portrait of Jane Austen, drawn by her sister Cassandra (c. 1810)
(1775-12-16)16 December 1775
Steventon Rectory, Hampshire, England
18 July 1817(1817-07-18) (aged 41)
Winchester, Hampshire, England
Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire, England
1787 to 1809–11
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist. She wrote many books of romantic fiction about the gentry. Her works made her one of the most famous and beloved writers in English literature.[1] She is one of the great masters of the English novel.
Austen's works criticized sentimental novels in the late 18th century, and are part of the change to nineteenth-century realism.[2] She wrote about typical people in everyday life. This gave the English novel its first distinctly modern character.[3] Austen's stories are often comic,[4] but they also show how women depended on marriage for social standing and economic security.[5] Her works are also about moral problems.[6]
Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke.[7] Educated mostly by her father and older brothers, and also by her own reading, she lived with her family at Steventon. They moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After he died in 1805, she moved around with her mother. In 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. In May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. She died there on 18 July 1817.
Jane Austen was very modest about her own genius.[7] She once famously described her work as "the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a brush, as produces little effect after much labor".[7] When she was a girl she wrote stories. Her works were printed only after much revision. Only four of her novels were printed while she was alive. They were Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were printed in 1817 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen. Persuasion was written shortly before her death. She also wrote two earlier works, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. She had been working on a new novel, Sanditon, but she died before she could finish it. She is now a well known great writer.
1.2 Early life and education
1.3 Early writings
1.4 Death
Biographical facts about Jane Austen are "famously scarce" (few).[8] Only a few letters remain (it is estimated that only 160 out of Austen's 3,000 letters survive).[9] Her sister Cassandra (to whom most of the letters were written) burned "the greater part" of the ones she kept. The letters she did not destroy she censored.[10] Other letters were destroyed by the heirs of Admiral Francis Austen, Jane's brother.[11] Most of the biographies written about her for 50 years after she died was by her relatives, who often described her as "good quiet Aunt Jane". Scholars have not been able to find much information after that.[8]
Family[change | change source]
Cassandra Austen, Jane's sister and best friend
Austen's parents, George Austen (1731–1805), and his wife, Cassandra (1739–1827), were both part of the gentry.[12] Cassandra was a part of the important Leigh family. George Austen, however, was of a lower class of society. He had first met Cassandra at Oxford, while she was meeting her uncle Theophilus.[13] George and Cassandra married on 26 April 1764 at Walcot Church in Bath.[14]
Austen had a large family. She had six brothers—James (1765–1819), George (1766–1838), Edward (1767–1852), Henry Thomas (1771–1850), Francis William (Frank) (1774–1865), Charles John (1779–1852)—and one sister, Cassandra Elizabeth (1773–1845), who died without marrying. Jane deeply loved Cassandra, and they were both best friends.[15] Of her brothers, Austen was most close to Henry, who helped spread and influence her writing.[16] "Oh, what a Henry!" she once wrote.[17] George was almost ten years older than Jane. He suffered from fits and was not able to develop normally.[18][19] His father wrote of him, "We have this comfort, he cannot be a bad or a wicked child".[19] He may also have been deaf and mute.[18] Jane knew sign language (she mentioned talking "with my fingers" in a letter) and could have communicated with him.[19] Charles and Frank served in the navy. Edward was adopted by his fourth cousin, Thomas Knight. He became "Edward Knight" instead of Edward Austen in 1812.[20]
Early life and education[change | change source]
Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon rectory. She was christened at home and then, as the Book of Common Prayer directs, brought to church for the baptism to be certified in public on 5 April 1776.[21] A few months after she was born, her mother hired a woman named Elizabeth Littlewood to nurse her. Littlewood took care of Austen for about a year.[22] According to family tradition, Jane and Cassandra were sent to Oxford to be educated by Mrs. Ann Crawley in 1783. They moved with her to Southampton later in the year. Both girls caught typhus and Jane almost died.[23] After that, Austen was educated at home until she went to boarding school with Cassandra early in 1785. She learned some French, spelling, needlework, dancing,music, and probably drama. In the winter of 1786, Jane and Cassandra went back home.
Austen also learned much by reading books. Her father and brothers helped choose the books she read.[24] George Austen seemed to have let his daughters read the books in his large library freely. He also allowed Austen's experiments in writing, and gave her costly paper and other writing materials.[25]
Jane Austen and her family also enjoyed acting out plays privately.[26] Most of the plays were comedies. This might have been a way for Austen's comedic and satirical talents to develop.[27]
Early writings[change | change source]
Portrait of Henry IV, drawn by Austen's sister Cassandra (c. 1790).
Perhaps from as early as 1787, Austen began writing poems, short stories, and plays for fun.[28] Austen later put together "fair copies" of 29 of these early works into three notebooks. They are now called the Juvenilia. It has pieces which were first written down between 1787 and 1793.[29] Jane Austen had arranged her writing during this time into three volumes, namely Volume the First, Volume the Second and Volume the Third.[30] There is some proof that Austen continued to work on these pieces later in life. Her nephew and niece, James Edward and Anna Austen, may have made further additions to her work in around 1814.[31] In these works were included Love and Freindship [sic] which was completed in 1790 and Lesley Castle which was completed in 1792.[30] In Love and Freindship, she laughed at popular sentimental novels.[32] She also wrote The History of England, which had 13 watercolour pictures by her sister Cassandra inside it.
Death[change | change source]
Jane Austen started to feel increasingly unwell during 1816, which was the year when her novel 'Persuasion' was published. On 24 May 1817, she moved to Winchester in search for a cure to her illness. She died on 18 July 1817, aged 41. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove the cause of her death, it seems likely that it was Addison's disease that killed her. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral on 24 July 1817.[33]

This morning, after a super yummy breakfast of cinnamon bites, we headed out on our adventure!
We were headed to Noccalula Falls in Gadsden. It was a beautiful place, but with a sad legend (as most Native American tales seem to be).
Princess Noccalula was to marry another brave - one of another tribe who was very well off. Noccalula was in love with a brave in her own tribe. She begged and begged to have the wedding called off so she could be with the one she loved. Her father basically said "no way." So, instead of having to be forced into a marriage she didn't want, she decided to end her life by jumping. Her father was so brokenhearted by this that he named the falls after her.
Let's get to the park now! Good times! And, there are about 20 pictures - enjoy!
Ok, we realized that we should have come AFTER the tropical storm passed through. But, still. Very cool.
Showing Andy the waterfall. That is Noccalula behind them.
Poor girl. See? Money doesn't equal happiness. Did you read the whole legend (not my chopped up version)?
Walking down to the bottom of the gorge and looking up. Awesome.
The Falls - again, if we had come AFTER the storm...there would be more water falling. See how horribly dry it has been??? CAN'T WAIT FOR THE RAIN TONIGHT!
After that, we needed a drink/snack break. Andrew and I took a train ride while Alex got a bottle with Daddy. Awesome side note - the train is included with the admission ticket and you can ride it as much as you want. FUN! Andrew loved it! Especially when we picked up Jason and Alex.
This guy is really cool. He likes to say hello to people.
He cracks me up. He's hot, I know. I asked him to stand there so I could take a picture of him with the train. He stood there and whispered "cheese" LOL Thanks for humoring me, buddy.
This is a really great place to visit if you live nearby or just passing though! We loved it and will definitely be going back when it is cooler! Now then, time for bed. I'm exhausted!
Looks like your family had a lot of fun! I think it's so important for families to spend time together outside exploring. It can be a challenge though went it's hot outside!
We did!! We are making it more of a priority now to have 1 full day of just us since the kids are growing so fast. :) And, yes, it has been so hot, but hopefully the fall will get here soon!

Nick Katzman (born 1951) is an American blues musician.  Katzman was born in New York City, and lives in both Manhattan and Berlin, Germany.  He plays in a variety of musical genres, including Chicago blues, Mississippi blues, Texas blues, and ragtime.

Biography
As a teenager in the 1960s, Katzman saw many of the surviving country blues guitarists who travelled north to play their music in clubs and at the folk festivals.  He learned to lay both guitar and lute.  He studied classical music and jazz at Antioch College in Ohio.  His classical influences include Sylvius Leopold Weiss and Johann Sebastian Bach.

His blues music was inspired by a number of musicians, including Charlie Patton, Kid Bailey, and Mississippi John Hurt.  On his own website, Katzman also cites amongst his teachers the blues masters Mance Lipscomb, Reverend Gary Davis, Stefan Grossman and Rory Block.

About 40 years ago, Katzman moved to Germany to live, tour and perform.

His music
Katzman discussed his musical influences as a mix of various strains of the blues, including Delta blues, country blues, folk music and hokum ragtime.  His music has been described as a "wide range of blues from Delta to Gary Davis." Katzman's music has been compared to Tom Ball and Rich Stein.  He has also been compared favorably with his blues forebears Blind Blake and The Rev. Gary Davis.

Katzman has collaborated with a number of senior Blues musicians, including Champion Jack Dupree, Carey and Lurie Bell, Louisiana Red, and Guitar Crusher.

Katzman also has mentored a number of younger musicians, including Thomasina Winslow. He continues to learn to play new instruments, including the lute.

In the United States, Katzman often plays at The Good Coffee House at the Ethical Culture Society meeting house in Brooklyn, New York, New York. He has been based (and currently as of 2007) in Germany.  In May and June 2007, Katzman toured Europe with Winslow, including a headlining appearance at the Stamford, England at the Stamford Arts Centre. He returned to the Good Coffee House in April 2008, with "special guests Paul Handelman on harp and Thomasina Winslow on guitar and vocals."

There is a wide array of chart patterns within the study of technical analysis. Some of these are continuation patterns, and others reversal patterns. Each individual chart pattern has a certain potential that is often achieved. But in some cases, a chart pattern can fail and we will end up with a losing trade. Fortunately, for the astute trader this can sometimes provide for an alternative trading scenario. Today we will learn how to trade and profit from chart pattern failures.
What are Chart Pattern Failures?
A chart pattern failure occurs when a specific chart pattern does not materialize as anticipated and is unable to achieve its potential. As a result, the price action moves in the opposite direction than expected. Many times, this causes an influx of stop loss orders to be triggered and can provide for a unique trading opportunity.
The image above shows a Double Bottom chart pattern, which is marked with the blue lines on the chart. The magenta line is the Neck Line of the pattern, which plays the role of a confirmation signal. In the green circle you see that the price action breaks the neck like, confirming the bullish potential of the pattern. However, the price action returns and initiates a strong bearish move. The Double Bottom setup failed, which has now caught many traders on the wrong side of the market.
Being able to understand why failure patterns occur on the chart is essential for your success when trading a technical analysis pattern failure. Therefore, in this section, we will discuss the reason for the occurrence of failure patterns in Forex.
The truth is that failed patterns are usually part of something bigger. In many cases, you will see that your failure pattern is evolving into another pattern, either on your trading timeframe or a higher degree timeframe. Let's take for example of the Double Bottom pattern from the image above. If you take a closer look, you will notice that the failed Double Bottom eventually turned into an Expanding Triangle.
On the chart image above, we have outlined the upper and the lower level of the Expanding Triangle, which appears to be the real pattern on the chart. Although the Double Bottom pattern (blue) gets confirmed, the price action returns and creates another bottom on the lower level of the Expanding Triangle. This provides us valuable information that the black horizontal support is of great importance in accessing future price development. Therefore, when the price action breaks the lower level of the black Expanding Triangle you have sufficient reason to believe that the downward move from the newly established pattern is likely. As you can see, the triangle reaches its full potential after the breakout.
There are two basic types of failed chart patterns in Forex. They can be classified based on how far the price action has gone into the creation of the pattern. There are chart patterns, which are already confirmed, but still fail, and there are patterns, which have formed, but have not yet been confirmed.
These patterns are forming or formed on the chart, but actual breakout through the trigger line of the chart figure has not yet taken place. Further price action then proves that the anticipated pattern is false and the price proceeds in the opposite direction than expected.
These chart patterns, have already been confirmed by their trigger line, creating the confirmation. This means that the trader has a very strong reason to pursue the potential of the chart formation. However, the pattern fails and leaves many traders on the wrong side of the market.
In many cases before you trade a failed chart setup, you will probably have experienced a loss caused by the initial false breakout. This is totally normal, and you should not worry about that as long as you follow a strict risk management strategy. When you realize that the pattern is a fakeout or false breakout, you can prepare to trade in the opposite direction to catch the real price move.
Next, will now discuss some basic rules you can use when trading failed chart setups.
To enter a Failed Pattern trade, you should first identify the point of failure in the pattern. Typically, you will notice a weak breakout and follow thru, then a swift return to the breakout point. You should simply notice that the price action is beginning to return to the critical level of the pattern on stronger momentum compared to the momentum during the initial breakout. When this happens, then you have a good possibility of a failed chart pattern setup.
You can enter a failed pattern trade when the price action breaks and closes beyond the original breakout level, but this time in the opposite direction.
You should never leave your failed pattern trade setup unprotected. Therefore, you should always use a stop loss order when trading this type of pattern or any type of forex setup for that matter. After all, nothing is 100% certain in Forex. Even failed patterns can fail, so you must make sure to use prudent risk management measures at all times.
You should position your stop loss order at least beyond the critical level, which was used as the trigger line for the original chart pattern, before its failure.
The use of proper price action rules is crucial when trading and managing failed patterns in Forex.
The first thing that you should do when you consider a failed pattern trade is to observe if the price action is likely to evolve into a new chart pattern. If this happens, then you should simply follow the take profit rules of the newly created pattern to exit your trade.
However, if the price action doesn't create a new chart pattern, you should then rely on your price action knowledge to carefully manage the exit. This could be in the form of channel breakouts, ascending/descending price moves, other chart or candle patterns, breakouts from support/resistance levels, etc. When the currency pair starts to stall, you should keep a lookout for reversal signs and continually monitor swing highs and lows for potential exit opportunities.
Now let's demonstrate the way a failed pattern technical strategy might work.
This is the H4 candlestick chart of the USD/CHF currency pair a.k.a. Swissy for Sep – Oct, 2016. The image shows how to take advantage of failed patterns in Forex and how you can achieve nice profits from this type of trading scenario.
The image begins with a range, which comes after a price decrease. The range is indicated with the black lines on the chart. Suddenly, the range breaks through the lower level, creating the impression that the price action will resume the bearish trend. However, three periods later we see that the Swissy is back into the black channel. Only a couple of periods later we see the Swissy breaking the black horizontal channel through the upper level on strong momentum. This provides a high probability entry signal that is generated after the USD/CHF fails to breakout through the lower level.
You could buy the USD/CHF as shown in the green circle, placing a stop loss order below the lowest part of the range. The proper place for your stop loss order is shown with the red horizontal line below the range. In this first example, this range trade falls into the group that attains initial confirmation but fails after all and reverses direction.
The price action then enters a bullish trend. See that on the way up the Swissy creates a Rising Wedge chart pattern. This is a chart formation, which is known to have a strong bearish potential. You will need to exit the trade if the price action breaks the wedge downwards. Furthermore, such a breakout will coincide with a trend line breakout as well, giving you an even stronger exit signal.
However, the Rising Wedge pattern fails to break the downside as anticipated. The good thing is that the pattern fails before any bearish confirmation, giving us no reason to close the trade.
This Rising Wedge falls into the group of non-confirmed patterns that fails to materialize. In this particular case, the pattern failure is in our favor because we are already in a long position.
The bullish trend resumes afterward. The price creates another big bullish impulse. Then a new corrective move appears on the chart. This correction has the shape of an Ascending Triangle (yellow) and breaks the trend line sideways.
Here, based on the current price action clues, it would be wise not to close the trade at the time of the trend line breakout, but instead hold it until the triangle breaks downwards. Unfortunately, the yellow triangle breaks downwards indeed, generating a strong exit signal.
Soon thereafter, the price action quickly reverses and moves above the triangle. So the initial downside move was a false triangle breakout. Therefore, you should reopen the trade after the upper level of the yellow triangle is broken and you should place a stop-loss order below the lowest point of the yellow triangle as shown on the image.
The price action creates another bullish impulse, which on first sight confirms the resumption of the bullish trend. However, the price action creates a couple of unsuccessful attempts to return above the green bullish trend line. And this is a strong signal that the bullish trend is probably done after all.
Also, the blue bearish channel at the end of the chart shows that the price action is descending, giving you further reason to exit the trade.
This is a very good example of how to effectively trade failed chart patterns in combination with price action. The image demonstrated three chart patterns that failed. Two of them were confirmed patterns that eventually failed. One of them was a non-confirmed pattern that failed which we used to recognize the real potential direction of the trend.
Although trading Forex failure patterns using pure price action analysis is very effective, I will also show you a valuable indicator to confirm a pattern failure. And this is the Volume Indicator.
There are two simple rules when trading with the Volume indicator.
If a breakout occurs on high or increasing trading volume, then the breakout is most likely authentic.
If a breakout occurs on low or decreasing volume, then the breakout is probably false.
These two rules are extremely helpful when distinguishing real patterns from fake patterns.
By using the Volume Indicator, you will reduce the number of cases where you become trapped inside a failed chart pattern. Furthermore, if a pattern fails, then you will be able to identify it easier and position yourself to take advantage of the actual move afterward.
And now we will demonstrate how exactly to combine the Volume Indicator with chart pattern failures to achieve better accuracy in our trades.
Above we have the daily chart of the EUR/USD for the period is Aug – Dec 2015. The image shows a chart pattern failure, which transitions into an opposite move. At the bottom of the chart, we have the Volume Indicator, which helps us to gauge market conditions better.
The chart begins with a price consolidation, which has the shape of a Symmetrical Triangle. As you can see, the pattern makes a clear breakout through the upper level. However, the volumes at this time are decreasing, which is shown with the red line on the Volume Indicator.
After the price breaks the triangle upwards, it creates a top and reverses. The price moves below the original breakout point of the Symmetrical Triangle. At the same time, the Volume Indicator prints a big bar, which breaks the downward sloping red line showing the progressively decreasing volume. This gives confirmation for the price drop, creating a nice opportunity to short the EUR/USD.
You could sell the EUR/USD in this case, placing a stop-loss order at the top created through the upper level of the triangle.
As you can see, the price of EUR/USD decreases afterwards. The trend is relatively sharp compared to the previous price action and it is easy to distinguish. However, the bottom formations begin to slow down and consolidate. This creates another pattern on the chart, which is marked with the yellow lines. It is a Falling Wedge formation. This pattern is known to have a strong bullish potential. Therefore, your first thought when the price action breaks the wedge upwards should be to exit your trade.
But is this wedge a real or a false chart pattern? Well let's take a look at the Volume Indicator. Notice that volume is increasing at the time of the breakout through the upper level of the wedge. This implies that the breakout is likely real and should have a good follow thru. Therefore, based this assumption, you should use this breakout to close your trade. Notice the sharp price reversal out of the falling wedge.
The handy Volume Indicator helped guide us during three breakouts. The first breakout happened during decreasing volume, which indicated that it was probably false. The second breakout occurred on high volume, revealing that it was likely real, and the third one happened on increasing volume, confirming that it was most likely going to be a real breakout as well.
A chart pattern failure occurs when a chart formation does not materialize and is unable to reach its potential.
Chart patterns in Forex can fail, but in some cases the failure itself can provide for a viable trading setup.
When patterns fail, you are likely to experience a loss if you were in the trade prior to the failure. However, you can then reverse and attempt to trade the pattern failure.
In many of the cases when a chart pattern fails, it is in the process of creating another larger pattern.
Patterns that are not confirmed and fail – the pattern is forming or formed, but the price action does not break the trigger line of the chart figure.
Patterns that are confirmed and fail – the pattern is formed, and the price action breaks the trigger line of the formation creating a confirmation signal.
You confirm the point of the pattern failure – You can enter the market when you identify a breakout through a critical level in the opposite direction of the pattern.
You can place a stop loss order beyond the level of the initial trigger line of the pattern. This is usually beyond the opposite part of the pattern.
You stay in the trade as long as the price action evidence on the chart is confirming the continued price move. You should watch to see if the failed chart pattern evolves into some other pattern. This way you can attain a certain minimum target for your trade using the rules of the new emerging pattern.
Breakouts on high or increasing volumes are usually real.
Breakouts on low or decreasing volumes are usually false.

According to the invention, before the decoding of the bar code in the mobile station the edges of the subject (40) are determined from a high-resolution image, in the case of a 2D code, the location of the corner point of the subject (49) are estimated on the basis of adaptive thresholding, and, in the case of a 2D code, a perspective transformation is formed.

"May 9th. It's been one year already. Many of the times I have sat down to write the next update for 'The Bart Project' it has been a pretty easy process, to be honest. As an honest celebration of the wonderful Andrew 'Bart' Simpson, the words have often composed themselves, or been reflections and repetitions of the many, many messages and conversations that we have shared with you collectively or individually.
Today is plainly not so straight forward. It is an all too obvious reminder of who and what we have lost, a painful throwback to those raw emotions of a year ago and an anniversary that none of us wish to be a part of. The one person who we would choose to share today with will not be here to do so and let's not kid ourselves, that's a really hard and unpalatable fact of life. We miss you, Bart.
and inspiring celebration. Not only will we be celebrating Leah's birthday – a day that Bart would have as one of the most important in his calendar – but we will officially open the Andrew Simpson Sailing Centre in the heart of the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy – the home of sailing for the London 2012 Olympics.
The Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation has developed its objectives and begun to put them into action. Fundraising events in San Fransisco and Bermuda raised a significant amount of money that was added to by many kind and generous acts of fundraising, supported by sailors from all over the world. With this powerful mandate of financial support, an intense period of graft ended with the announcement of the establishment of the Andrew Simpson Sailing Centre in Weymouth – the home base of all future endeavours for the Foundation. At 11am this morning, Sir Ben Ainslie, Iain Percy and pretty much every available Team GB sailor will open this legacy centre and begin to ensure that Andy's personality forever lives within, and across, this wonderful sport and creates, delivers and inspires opportunities to change the lives of young people for the better.
As an Olympian, Andy's work ethic was fearsome. He never settled for anything less than perfection and he continually strived to exceed his own potential and improve all areas of his performance. So setting up a Sailing Centre from scratch within a few months was clearly never going to be enough for the Foundation, and in December last year we announced the news of the inaugural 'Bart's Bash' event – a Guinness World Record attempt at The Largest Sailing Event in the World.
Planned for September 21st, interest in the event was enormous, instantaneous and it spread across the globe. Currently nearly 600 clubs from 43 countries across the world have expressed a desire to take part and there are over 4 months left to the event date. The event will unite the sailing world in a way that is unprecedented across any sport in history, and for the first time ever the world's best will go up against the youngest and newest in the discipline. We believe that there will be tens of thousands of competitors in the race, and we have some pretty special plans to encourage and reward their fundraising.
At the core of all this activity lies one man. With your help, we are marking this anniversary with a poster made up of all of the contributions you have made to 'The Bart Project' since we began. At the heart of the image is a message that was written by Bart himself, two years before he died. It is a message he lived by and it is a message that carries his legacy and personality forwards in every avenue of life. Never give up on achieving your goals.
Happy birthday Leah. Now let's crack on with it. #sailonbart"

Q: Unable to set cookie on Internet Explorer via Javascript I have seen alot of questions regarding this and alot of different answers, but none of them that I can see either apply to me or I have tried and they have failed.
So, essentially I have the below code:
Date.prototype.addMins = function(minutes) {
  this.setTime(this.getTime() + minutes*60000);
  return this;
}

function readCookie(name) {
  var nameEQ = name + "=";
  var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
  for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
    var c = ca[i];
    while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
    return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
    if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c;
   }
   return null;
}

var timer_expiry = new Date().addMins(1);
var expiry = new Date().setFullYear(2030);

document.cookie = 'my_signup_clock='+timer_expiry+';expires='+expiry+';path=/;';

var asc = readCookie('my_signup_clock')

if (asc) {
 alert("exists");
} else{
 alert("does not");
}

I've tested this on all my browsers and the cookies are set except for Internet Explorer (including 11).  Below is what I think would help rule out certain answers:

*

*my domain is not less than 2 characters

*my domain does not have any underscores in it

*my cookies should be 'first-party' there are no iframes being called on the website

*my website is not P3P set (but I believe this is not a requirement?)

*my IE browser is default settings (I'm on Mac so I view the website via VMs or BrowserStack) - so the answer 'change your settings' won't be accepted, as I need to think of my users.

*my website redirects all http into https (if that helps)

If anyone has any ideas how to troubleshoot this that would be great because unfortunately I can't see how the heck I'll be able to do this - I must be doing something wrong.
Many Thanks
